So this isn't The Most Amazing Advent Calendar Ever Made, but I am still pretty happy with how things turned out. They're for my 4&6 year old cousins.

I had a bunch of empty mint tins around - left over from wedding favors I never made - so first I filled them with tons of dollar store stuff. Second I wrapped two magnetic marker boards with wrapping paper. Last I put paper and numbers on the tops of the tins and magnets on the bottom. That's it!

My friend stayed up all night last night in front of Target in the cold to bring me and him a Wii. He has succeeded and I need some way to thank him. I really want to make him something for the Wii, but I'm just not coming up with anything much. My first thought was a Wii cozy like for our DS's, but I don't think that would really work with it now that I see it. Any ideas out there?
